I know. I've seen a few, but they are all in museums.
Dave had two of them, he put the other in our museum. :)
Dave has a great collection of Cray stuff. I think he said his first big iron was a Cray and that is what started his obsession.
I still kick myself for throwing out a smallish Cray Origin system that I was using in my basement as a webserver/firewall/Flight simulator. Granted it was a rebranded SGI with some extra bells and whistles but it still said Cray :-)
This was way before I was into the hobby.
Cheers, Corey
Many Crays were leased, and so were re-possessed by Cray when de-commissioned. Serial No.1 travelled the world. Some pics here:- http://tardis.dl.ac.uk/computing_history/cray-1s.html Dave G4UGM
